AT&T gets (mildly) social…

Are you a fan of Facebook? Addicted to Twitter? Compulsively checking your Myspace 100 times a day? Wish you could check all three at once, on a half baked application provided by your carrier? If you’re on AT&T, congratulations, it’s your lucky day…AT&T has debuted “Social Net”, a program designed to give you one-stop access to Myspace, Twitter and Facebook. It’s only available on branded AT&T handsets (ones that come with Media Mall).

It appears to be free at this time, though I don’t know if they intend to find a way to charge in the future. I downloaded it today for my E71x, and so far I am unimpressed. It’s a great viewing tool, but it redirects you to m.facebook.com as soon as you want to comment on a post, or respond to a message…at which point I could have just gone right to the website and skipped out the middleman. Hopefully there will be improvements along the way…still, if you’re a social networking fiend it’s better than flipping between several mobile sites at once, so give it a shot and comment below with your perspective!

Carly has been a gadget fiend for a long time, going back to her first PDA (a Palm M100). She quickly went from researching what PDA to buy to following tech news closely and keeping up with the latest and greatest stuff. She loves writing about ebooks because they combine her two favorite activities; reading anything and everything, and talking about fun new tech toys. What could be better?
